North Central has 700 freshmen boys in their school. They have plenty to work with. Their problem is their 2.0 GPA rule for Washington Township. That said, the players are in the school. Same demographic as Warren, Ben Davis, but perhaps a shade more affluent.
As far as the Oregon discussion goes, they will be the quickest to adapt to the new conference. I said this when NIL started; Oregon is the team to watch. As much money as we see in the SEC programs, no one comes close for what Oregon has available with Nike execs that are alums. I still feel the current path lasts 5 years tops, and Oregon will be one of the leaders in driving it to some sort of professional league.
I agree with pretty much everything you said regarding Penn State and I'm looking forward to see if Allar can level up his Sophomore year. But, I agree with @temptation, I'll believe it when I see it with Franklin.
I find it interesting that plenty of coaches want to talk about public vs. private schools. Honestly, I like the idea several brought up about private schools playing at least one level above their class.
Also, I think the 2 year window is too small for reclassification. 3-4 years would be better
